Diamine Solstice - 50ml Bottled Fountain Pen Ink - The Goulet Pen Company
Diamine Solstice - 50ml Bottled Ink
Initially launched as part of the 2019 Diamine InkVent calendar and now a part of the regular Diamine Blue Edition collection, this Solstice black fountain pen ink features added green/silver shimmer. Works best with broader nibs on high quality paper to really see the shine. Comes in a 50ml glass bottle.
Due to the amount of particulate in this ink used to achieve the sparking look, you may experience restricted ink flow in some of your pens. We recommend shaking the ink thoroughly before filling and gently rolling the pen in your hands often to keep the shimmer effect consistent. This will also help prevent clogging. You will also want to be diligent about cleaning and maintaining your pen when using this ink.

the bottle is as beautiful as the ink. dark enough to blend with black, ranging to gray.
I will start by saying that this is my first ever bottle purchase as im new to fountain pens. It flows well and surprisingly doesnt soak through any paper i have written on (forgive me if thats an aspect of the pen and not ink). The color is nice and the envy of my co workers. The metallic green is nice but at times it either just looks like a glitter pen or i nice mix of metallic and black. Again, this may be because my pen or the ink. Regardless, im happy with it and I plan on returning to this site for further ink purchases.
This black ink has a beautiful green shimmer. The swab shown in the listing doesn't do it justice. In person the shimmer stands out as well as any shimmering ink I've seen, but unlike in some cases where the shimmer or sheen changes the base color (think a blue ink with so much red in it that it ceases to be blue), this remains a black ink with something extra that makes it stand out vs. non-shimmering black inks.
I love how rich of a color it is. It writes smoothly
i love love love this ink---black enough to be used for important work, but the shimmer gives it enough pizazz to turn any writing magical. i found it works alright with the monteverde lisa's flex nib, but even better with the medium nib---and presumably best of all with broader nibs than that. highly recommend!
Excellent quality
The ink flows well and doesn't clog even the finest of my nibs, the deep rich color and subtle shimmer make this a must buy for any black ink enthusiast.
My husband bought me the ink-vent calendar last year and this was one of my favorite colors in the set so when it was on my best-friend's christmas list for this year, I didn't hesitate to buy her a full bottle. It's a wondering sparkly ink, rich green with silver sparkles. Looks like an evergreen after an icy fog has moved through.
I can't say enough good things about this ink. Seriously. I immediately bought another bottle. I use it in a broad TWSBI Eco and the rich black plus green (YES GREEN) shimmer is so unique and fun. I have a whole bunch of shimmering inks and this is probably my favorite.
The pictures do this ink absolutely NO JUSTICE!!! I expected a mostly brown ink with a little shimmer, this is gorgeous!!! There's just enough deep brown & gorgeous green teal shimmer Glad I took a chance on a deep brown ink
This was my favorite ink from 2019's Inkvent calendar. It's stunning! For a shimmering ink, it works beautifully with both my Pilot Metro stub and my Nemosine stub. It's lovely and wet and flows beautifully. I'm thrilled to have it all year now!
I use this ink on one of my TWSBI fountain pens as well as my Mont Blanc 149. It is an exceptional ink that is wet and flows beautifully from each. While it didn't take well to one Rhodia notebook, it takes beautifully to my Rhodia 80 g spiral notebook and my Premium C.D. Notebook. The shimmering quality makes a wonderful effect.
